COMMUNITY ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT THROUGH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR): A STUDY OF TAMBANG PT. NHM IN THE PROVINCE OF NORTH MALUKU

Development in the Province of North Maluku has not yet been able to improve the welfare of the local communities. There is a gap between rural and urban areas as a result of development distortions. This qualitative research study aimed to design a corporate social responsibility program for the economic empowerment of the community in North Maluku Province. Previous community empowerment activities have not been maximized due to the limited quantity and quality of agriculture, unmanaged natural resources, and the climate. Our analysis of the economic condition of the communities around the Nusa Halmahera Minerals mine in North Maluku involved qualitative research using critical theory, which views social reality as a complex and filled with conflicts. We identified a design for community economic empowerment through comprehensive corporate social responsibility and changes in economic conditions to improve the prosperity and social cohesion of the local communities.
